BEFORE & AFTER BEFORE

Since founding Alder & Tweed Design Co. more than a decade ago, siblings Reed and Heather Humphrey have built an esteemed interior design firm that specializes in creating curated luxury and “home away from home” experiences for the residential and hospitality markets. With a new office space in Park City, Utah, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase their elevated, organic style by transforming one of their conference rooms into an inspiring space for client presentations. At the same time, a client’s whole home renovation was underway in Salt Lake City. Inspired by the breathtaking mountians of the area, Heather Humphrey featured a Phillip Jeffries wallcovering with warm neutrals and rich textures in both of these very different spaces.

Starting with a blank slate in both projects, Heather drew inspiration from nature and made a plan to layer soft textures in a chic neutral palette. The master bedroom (above) in a 1950s rambler-style home was completely remodeled to incorporate a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. “It was just white walls – a pretty generic room,” she said. And for the new office (above right), Heather wanted an atypical office vibe with custom furniture, gorgeous art, and some color. “We wanted to show our work and inspire our clients with simple-yet-inspiring design.”

To create a serene escape in the bedroom, Heather choose the beautiful and scenic mural, Daybreak. This layered ombré mountainscape wallcovering features painterly brushstrokes and dimensional texture. “It’s almost like art on the walls without having to put art on the walls,” says Heather. “It’s very serene and gives a nod to the surroundings and nature.”

Meanwhile, at the Alder & Tweed Design Co. office, Heather was looking to add color when she selected Timber Trails, an oak wood veneer wallcovering with a vertical plank pattern. “That wood veneer has a lot of color coming through it without being too bold. We wanted the art to play off of it.”

These two projects now have walls that wow!
